Pirate Bay search and data resurrected by IsoHunt

The IsoHunt team has put the old Pirate Bay search and data back online in a working site for users while the original site remains down.

The Pirate Bay went down on Tuesday as a result of police action in Stockholm, and since then many proxies and mirrors have been mistaken for the official site. OldPirateBay.org is not a resurrection of the official site, but it will be something Pirate Bay users will be happy with.

It is the old Pirate Bay search and the archived data from the notorious BitTorrent site, and on top of that new torrents are appearing in "Recent Torrents" too. It is not intended as a replacement for the Pirate Bay however.

"As you probably know, the beloved Pirate Bay website is gone for now. It'll be missed. It'll be remembered as the pilgrim of freedom and possibilities on the web. It's a symbol of liberty for a generation of Internet users." a note reads on the site.

"It its honor we're making the oldpiratebay.org search. We, the IsoHunt team, copied the database of Pirate Bay in order to save it for generations of users. Nothing will be forgotten. Keep on believing, keep on sharing."
